Summary: Dissapointing
Review: 'The Mist' has a potentially exciting story but it is marred by how the story is told. The novel is written to make you feel that you are there at the Captain's Table. So, you'll find the novel switching back and forth between the story and the scenes at the bar (such as Sisko stopping to enjoy his Jambalaya). I find that the scenes just get in the way of the story and gets irritating at times. If you want a better book in the series, go for "The Captain's Table : Once Burned" by Peter David. It's a lot better than this one...

Summary: Enjoyed a whole lot!
Review: :-) I enjoyed this book a whole lot. The interruptions were just part of the whole atmosphere. Maybe because this was the frst Captain's Table that I have read so I wasn't comparing it to anything else. I think the story line itself was interesting and a good read for any trekkie.

Summary: Very poorly writen
Review: After reading Once Burned and Dujonian's Hoard, I read this book, and was extremely disappointed and let down. The constant interruptions were nothing more than annoying. And with that said, the story itself was poorly written. I'll give it credit that it was unpredictable, but in the wrong. Everytime it seemed to be actually, for once, getting better, it got even worse.

Summary: Good frame story.
Review: As with the first two books of this miniseries, half of the book centers in "The Captain's Table", a mysterious place that seems to exist interdimensionally, can be entered only by captains, but captains of any stripe and from any place or time period; sort of a "Callahan's Crosstime Saloon", restricted to captains instead of people who Spider Robinson finds interesting. The other half of the book consists of a story told by our main character, in this case, Ben Sisko, about an adventure that he or she has had as a captain, told to the other captains at the bar.
As in the previous two books, both stories are very well told, and are quite enjoyable. The problem, and the reason I only rate this book three stars, is that, while I find the basic concept amusing and interesting, I continue to have a problem with the fact that the Starfleet officers DON'T have a problem with the nature of the place; they cheerfully tell stories to rooms full of people whose cultures do not seem to have warp drive capability, or worse, seem to be from earth prior to the invention of warp drive, stories which center around spaceflight and alien cultures, without being the least concerned about the prime directive. Now, perhaps they don't always understand the nature of the place, or don't fully believe it; or perhaps they conclude that the fact that the people are here in the room interacting with other spaceflight cultures and aliens already means that any damage is already done, so nothing they might say can make it any worse. But it would be helpful if this mental process, whatever it may be, was made more clear. As it stands, I can't consider any of these stories canonical, which is a shame given how interesting and well-told they are.

Summary: IT'S LIKE BEING THERE
Review: Excellent book. The story is both well written and told. The way it is written it's like you are at the bar listening to the story being told. Well Done.

Summary: 'The Mist'; An awful Deep Space Nine novel
Review: I absolutely hated this novel; the third and worst edition of the six novel 'captain's table' series. So far this series is a bust. The stories are mediocre. and the frequent interruptions to Sisko's ho-hum story by one character or another is annoying in the extreme. Avoid this book.

Summary: I'm glad I bought it
Review: I am a very big fan of Deep Space Nine, and of the Captain Sisko character, so I had to buy this book. It's great. There's enough fighting to keep everybody interested. I recommend you go out there and buy it right now.

Summary: Brilliant work!
Review: I am more of a Star Wars fan and usually get dicusted with all the unecessary terminolgy in Star Trek, therefore I do not read it or watch the show-or didn't-until now! This book was very interesting with a blend of all that makes reading fun-action-interesting dialogue-SUSPENSE! I actually learned a little too, I highly reccomend this book!
